Is there any way to help sponsor a 7D MK2 for an accomplished developer? I donated some to the generic magic lantern bitcoin address when I still had a 70D, but would like to help contribute towards a 7DMKII port. Even $20-50 from relatively few people would be able to cover a dev-cam.

It sounds like the original 7D was a bear, something about the dual DIGIC right?

EDIT: I realize it might not even be a matter of finances, but more of time. I understand the complexity of coding, and am not suggesting giving someone a 7DMK2 would magically produce a port unless they were actually interested in doing the extensive and time consuming work involved.

I received my 7D mark II the last Saturday, great upgrade from the "old" 7D I was using until now with ML since it has been available. I already participated to ML development for the 7D, mainly back porting code to the main trunk like FPS override, raw recording display indicator,... Also fixing some code to let it work for 7D, like fullres silent pics,...I'm very interested to participate on a 7D mark II port !As I understand it we are stuck now on the firmware dumping as there is no firmware upgrade available ?

Knowing how the things are happening here, unless a keen developer does not have 7Dmk2 in his hands and a lot of spare time - won't happen. Dual processor is difficult without knowledge how the load is arranged and managed. and for 7Dmk2 it is DUAL DIGIC 6 (5Ds & 5Dr also), so new processor, so that would take more time. And also there are many features that have to be finished for current cameras, before jumping to new ones.

yes 7Dmk2 seams to be very promising, with the few glimpses I had it in my hands and could do tests - I love the results.

Canonrumours have written about a 7D2 firmware update coming in the next few weeks, and that should make a magic lantern port possible, right? Of course a dev will have to spend time on it tho. If it is a matter of financials i would love to support it. I run ML on my T3I right now, and i really want to be able to use magic lantern as fast as possible when i pick up a 7D2 by the end of the month.
